Wat Hiranyawat, Buddhist temple in Ko Chang, Thailand

Wat Hiranyawat is a Buddhist temple located on Ko Chang island featuring architectural styles from northern Thai and Burmese traditions. The interiors display intricate woven bamboo decorations alongside religious statuary and ornamental details.

The temple was established to anchor Buddhist practice on Ko Chang island and has served as a religious center since its founding. Its growth reflects the increasing settlement and spiritual development of the region over time.

The temple serves as a gathering place where local people come to worship and participate in ceremonies throughout the year. It plays a central role in the spiritual life of the Ko Chang community.

The temple welcomes visitors during daylight hours and requires shoes to be removed before entering the main buildings. Modest dress is recommended and visiting early in the day helps you explore the grounds without crowds.

The temple houses a Buddha statue called Phra Sing San Chana Man that was carefully crafted from woven bamboo strips by local artisans. This exceptional work demonstrates how traditional materials can be transformed into powerful religious imagery through skilled handwork.
